Climate + Agriculture, Rwanda
Rwanda is a landlocked country with an agricultural economy experiencing the impact of climate change and soil degradation. With pressures to feed a growing population, reduce climate impact, and solve malnutrition, the Rwandan government, NGOs, community groups and farmers themselves are seeking new ways to make it work. From circular economy initiatives to climate smart agriculture practices, there is a move, certainly a hope for more sustainable farming to take hold.
The big question, though, is will it be enough?
The IKEA Foundation thinks so. Funding both SNV and WRI Rwanda to find old, new ways to farming, and the home-grown innovators who are having an impact.
The images, films and documents were created to raise the profile of these small businesses for advocacy, profile, funding, and engagement.
